Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C)
   

2. Prepare the Glaze

• In a small saucepan, combine the peach jam, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon.

• Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the jam is melted and the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
  

3. Prepare the Ham

• Place the ham on a cutting board and score the surface in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife.

• If desired, insert whole cloves into the intersections of the diamond pattern for added flavor and decoration.

• Place the scored ham in a roasting pan, cut side down.

• Brush the peach jam glaze generously over the entire surface of the ham, ensuring it is evenly coated.

• Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

• Bake the ham for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until heated through, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.

• Remove the foil during the last 20-30 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize and form a golden crust on the ham.

Once the ham is heated through and the glaze is caramelized, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish the sliced ham with fresh peach slices, if desired, and serve warm.
